Manual ACM 9 - ARE i9 release
2.2.4 ACM 9 – control via RS-232 serial interface
In addition to the Industrial Ethernet control option, ACM 9 can always be controlled directly via a RS-232 interface. The
interface is located at the AUX port (see chapter 2.1.3 connectivity for pinout).
The serial parameters are: 115200 baud, 8 databits, 1 stopbit, no parity,
Communication is done via a simple ASCII based protocol. The same instruction set for ARE i9 is used as in Industrial
Ethernet communication (see section 3.2.x to 3.5.x for full list of instructions). Simply preceed the instruction with the port
number of the ARE i9 you want to talk to.
Examples:
Read firmware version of ARE i9 hooked up to port 2 of ACM 9:
Send ASCII string terminated with <CR> with preceeding port number via serial interface.
Input format:
2VER <CR>
Hex:
32
ASCII:
'2'
Output (example): 2ARE i9 V_1.011 <CR>
Hex:
32
ASCII:
'2'
The first number in the output string is the port number of ACM 9 that the instruction was sent to.
The rest of the string is the firmware version.
Read transponder UID from ARE i9 hooked up to port 4 of ACM 9:
Send ASCII string terminated with <CR> with preceeding port number via serial interface.
Input format:
4GT<CR>
Hex:
34
ASCII:
'4'
Output (example): 41234567812345678 <CR>
Hex:
34
ASCII:
'4'
The first number in the output string is the port number of ACM 9 that the instruction was sent to.
The rest of the string is the transponder UID.
